| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color reproduction of Gustav Klimt's iconic painting Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907), depicted across the entire square field of the coin. The subject, Adele Bloch-Bauer, is shown in a three-quarter pose, her figure adorned in an elaborate gold-and-silver gown richly decorated with geometric and organic Art Nouveau motifs including spirals, eyes, and triangular forms. The background is rendered in lustrous gold leaf tones characteristic of Klimt's celebrated gold phase, with decorative patterning filling every area of the composition. The image is faithfully reproduced in vibrant polychrome color enamel applied to the coin's surface, with the milled silver border of the square flan providing a clear frame. |
